Press the corresponding buttons to select the other pages — and discover even more voices.

•You can instantly jump back to the Main display by “double-clicking” on one of the [A] - [J] buttons.

•The voices displayed on the PSR-1000 are differ- ent from the example dis- play at left; however, the operations are identical.

Press the [8▲] button to start the Demo for the selected voice. To stop the Demo, press this button again. There’s more to the Demo features than just voices, though–for more information, see page 52.

Naturally, you can play the voice yourself from the keyboard, but you can also have the PSR-2000/1000 demonstrate the voice for you. Simply press the [8▲] button from the display above, and a Demo of the voice plays automatically.
